Very lucky, when you die of radiation sickness, it will be easy to find the body, as the wrist will be glowing! But uhm, seriously... did anyone think that maybe there should be some sort of regulation on private import of radioactive materials? Oh wait, there is...
Wait til Microsoft convinces them to bundle... at least once a day the robot will jump off of a 3 story building or equivalent height, and when you ask tech support, they'll tell you to run Microsoft update to get the security patch that makes it possible for other people to make it jump off a bridge as well.
Yeah, seems like with a new chunk of the next generation being born daily, they get the information, pass it on to their kids, and so on... maybe not in QUITE a tribal manner, sitting around the campfire telling legends, but seriously... unless we expect to somehow turn into a post-apocalyptic world sometime in the near future, and lose all records of everything, I can't see this really being a huge issue.
I move around a lot with the Army, and honestly, I can say I'll be happy to see it. Hopefully this will make onboard flash a viable alternative for laptops. Anything that drains less power these days is good in my book, and, hopefully will produce less heat, raising efficiency as well... I know Asus already makes one but theres always room for improvement, right?
If they expected to have issues with a dirty fork, maybe they should have sent a dishwasher? Honestly, where HAS the hygiene gone? Seriously though... maybe a mild solvent or something for cleaning? Shaking it? They can afford to put a robot on Mars, but not to design it to be able to maintain its instruments for the duration of its mission?
Depends on the shed you're dealing with, I guess, but at least I'm willing to put my name behind what I say... but accurate enough analogy, calling oneself a tool while trying to insult someone from behind anonymity... and all those statements I made are a combination of personal opinion and personal experience. But again, I'm willing to back those. Cheers.

I mean, what's next? Making cars require keys with the car company's logo to start so they can enforce "you're not going to transport Toyota parts with our Dodge truck"?
Just to point a small detail... flying a B2 is cooler than any computer out there. The large weapons just give you cause to giggle every time the news talks about "tensions".
More serious note, all military electronic hardware feels primitive, from the GPS that belongs in an 80s sci-fi flick, to the palm pilot the size of a paperback we use to put crypto in radios, its all old. Reasons: A, beauracracy and change don't mix.
B: Blowing the shit out of countries that didn't do anything to us just so we can rebuild them is kinda pricey.
C: Ammo is expensive too.
D: Our budget is mostly going to expanding a certain moron's oil empire.
E: Usr=ID10T.
Well, for the purpose of protecting proprietary software, copyright law requires only certain portions of physical code.

No. Newpaper editors have only one job, and that is to write scathing, sometimes witty editorials about things noone should waste time having an opinion on. You really need to get with the system here, much easier that way. Speaking of which, would you like a Microsoft Windows Vista Colonoscopy? Same concept.
Noone wants truth in reporting, the newspaper should countersue for potential loss of profit and defamation of journalistic reputation! People want drama, gossip, and shock value rumor mongering, what ELSE are they going to talk about for days and days???
Thats almost as incredible as my new process to recycle old broken computer parts into perfectly functional bandwidth! I'm planning to start an ISP soon, as soon as my server finishes building itself, which should only take 12-18 months, and a small fortune. And since broken electronics are so readily available, I promise to sell broadband service for half of what anyone else is doing, so if broadband becomes free, I'll pay YOU to use my service!!
I'll throw in my $0.02 here. A genius plan to disrupt the internal workings of the democratic party: Run in the primaries one politically inexperienced African-American Male (Who has my vote, please don't kill me for any statements here) against the notably more capable of either going berserk once a month or thinking nuclear winter will cure hot flashes wife of an ex-president who was nearly impeached... and then have two perfect candidates for underdog spend more time stabbing eachother in the back than on playing the unique cards available to their backgrounds... if it weren't for A: G-duh, and B: most of the republicans that were going for election were idiots, they would have had a PERFECT setup for internal disruption...
Sounds almost like theyre just taking a select group , leverage whatever pressures and influence they have in a manner to get a puppet elected, and toss in yet another layer of representation to determine what the puppet does... almost like a broken socialist microcosm of a republic. But hey, whatever floats their boats... I just hope their vote server is solid...
What sort of political ramifications do you see this research, if successful, having on the global population? As in, how would we prevent severe overpopulation without either blatantly unethical population control legislation or enforced selectivity on who would receive treatment that would be seen as worse than Hitler in WW2?
Speaking as someone who (recently) has been in a higher military headquarters position (4th ID Headquarters, on a Personal Security Detail) I can say for a fact 2 things about his answers.
Complaint one: Non-informative. Many of the questions, when he says they are outside his purview, really are. The military with purview on things like this are going to be incredibly compartmentalized, to prevent any useful dissemination (or leaking) of information. Pretty stupid, but thats how it goes.
Complaint two: Not making sense. The United States military, and its oversight, are fond of using buzzwords and unnecesary positions for purposes of both job security and self-importance. As such, his answers being confusing is merely him doing what he has had ingrained into him by years of being an officer in the United States Army (Also known as middle management, PHB style)

I think I will actually... the right wording, and I can retire.

weren't fairy tales designed to get these points across without a lecture originally?

Anyone geeky enough to arrange this PROBABLY does not, in fact, have a girlfriend? Unless shes a geek too, in which case introduce me.

That sounds like some serious restraint of trade.

Meh, try Ex-Lax. Always speeds up my tubes.
Since Network Services are now Free, my packets are insisting I ask if anyone can give them advice on how to unionize... they have T-shirts...
